Hey there friend, I’m Shay!
I’ve always loved Christmas since I was a teenager. I am one of the people who can listen to Christmas music year round!
I have 2 kids – my son, Cameron and my daughter, Greenlee. I’m kept busy with all our kids sports and activities, but in my down time, I’m thinking about Hallmark & Lifetime Christmas movies, Christmas music and all the yummy holiday food!
My intention is to share this Christmas joy with you!
Homesteading, to me, is more than just a lifestyle; it’s about reconnecting with nature, being self-reliant, and rediscovering the traditional skills that our fast-paced world often overlooks. This blog is a window into my world – a place where I share my experiences, triumphs, and challenges as I navigate the rewarding path of homesteading.
